Desperate times call for desperate measures? We’re not sure how else to describe releasing a $15,000 bottle of whiskey in this environment- penetrating market analysis from “Fast Company” aside. Perhaps foreign buyers will prop up the demand?

Any glass is half empty and half full, depending on how you look at it. I prefer to look at it half full. Life should be good.

I planned on buying a bottle – when I read this on Bloomberg on Friday. Sick with it.

@3 Thank you for not letting today be a complete waste.
Anyone else think its mighty ironic, or at least a rare case of accurate (albeit not temporally) targeted advertising that drugfree.org is now advertising on DB?
Damn 15 big ones?! That’s like a week’s worth of Boone’s!

Not golfers! GOPHERS!
@3
Insanely hilarious. Wow.

Um… a malt Glen Garry for me and my friend here. And if you tell that bartender to go extra easy on the water, this 50 cent piece has your name on it.
@3–another classic though I would have expected more damage charges from a guy with a rubber Amex…Glad to see Rat-boy enjoys a good meatball sandwich like T. Boone, etc.
Receipt Guy,
@3 FTWOTD. Your latest opus here is truly inspiring. Select items that resonated with my funny bone in no particular order:
-Burger King mask and airhorn
-Band-aids (1 box)
-Curled toed Genie shoes
Undoubtedly your performance review at work is perennially decorated with lavish praise of stellar attention to detail…
Agreed,
3 is a paragon of attention to detail
